[@CyrusMaoga-ov4pd]

You are being irrelevant Ruto are you giving a speech for Madaraka day?No content here

[@jfk2kennedy]

What is this man saying? He should protect the people from himself. When will he understand that?

[@johson6963]

The constitutional mandate should protect Kenyans against hefty unwarranted rush to taxation for people who have already been struggling.

[@denisnyangeri4416]

Is that all you can say zakayo surely! 😮

[@gabrielmuya8881]

Reject finance bill 2024

[@mutongoria]

When he opens his mouth, he is lying.

[@globalcitizen1138]

What a clown!!

[@AntoDezigns]

He is not listening..... People of this country don't want him and his bill. This is not a war coming from just opposition.... It Is everyone who wants this bill done away with. He is putting on notice the people of a country that doesn't need him anymore. His employers are on the streets protesting against him. All the power belongs to the people who are saying they don't want the FB2924. Isn't that common sense enough?

[@Cirus122]

Just resign

[@samsonjumaayaa6893]

[@AfricasJeff-bd3hs]

What is wrong with your volume???

[@johson6963]

I was hoping that Ruto's vision was going to move kenya forward. Im convinced he is moving too quickly especially during a recession and has in aprocess alienated his biggest supporters. This move is ill informed and should reconsider!

[@amorwanja5378]

I believe in you

[@lougiacobbi725]

Same message of the oppressor no matter who says it.

[@Tania-lo4mv]

[@gaspar7160]

The political and economic situation obtaining in Kenya now should serve as a warning to other African countries against unimpeded borrowing from IMF, World Bank, and other foreign financial institutions on the expectation of servicing such debts out of tax income. How can a government overburden its own citizens by overtaxing them to appease foreign masters?
